Refresh render.png - Refresh - After making changes, use the Refresh button on the toolbar, to see the effects of your changes.

Revit render.png - Start Render - For some setup changes, you will will need to reload the Geometry before the changes will be visible. Use the Start Render button for this. (Reloading the geometry this way does not have to extract it from the model again, it wili just read it from the saved file.)

Currently the geometry has to be reloaded when:

  • Changing Texture Tile sizes.
  • Changing Object Properties.
  • Changing Sun Position settings.
